[Avodah] sell the Beit Knesset?

[Rich, Joel]

The Rambam (matnot aniyim 8:11), based on Bava Batra 3b, states that a Beit Knesset(Synagogue) is not sold for pidyon shvuyim(redeeming captives) but rather new funds must be collected for that purpose. (The gemara in b"b is worth looking at-what exactly is the halachic force of "people don't sell their homes"). Two items:
1. This seems to imply a complex interaction between tzedakah priorities and other halachot (perhaps respect for Beit Knesset or people's intent in donations) or it might be that tzedaka priorities are multivariate?
2. What if the other fundraising fails-would the community sell the Beit Knesset?
